There is no catch. Team Kevin is the first, free listing real estate brokerage in the country. To get started, simply click the red "Get Started" button on the home page and follow the instructions.

No. Homebuyers and sellers are not required to purchase any of our services. Everything is 100% optional.

No matter where the homebuyer comes from, whether it's your neighbor or someone who found your home on Realtor.com, if that buyer is not using an agent you'll pay zero total commission as SoldBot will write up the purchase contract for the buyer at no charge just so you, the home seller, will pay zero commission. We know... awesome. If the buyer is using an agent, you can accept an offer from this buyer but you will then owe the buyer's agent their commission which will be displayed when you register your property on SoldBot. This is how the MLS works in the U.S. and it's the only reason why an agent from another company will bring their buyer over to see your home. SoldBot does not collect a single penny from any outside real estate brokerage or agent representing a buyer. As advertised, at SoldBot, free actually means free. As the seller, you can always accept or reject any offer you wish. You are always in complete control.

The MLS syndicates your home's for sale information to Zillow, Realtor.com, Trulia and thousands of other important homebuyer websites around the world. It takes about 2-3 days for your homes information to show up on these sites after entered in the MLS.

After you complete the three steps on your SoldBot Dashboard, your home will be listed in your local MLS within 24-48 hours depending on the MLS.

At no charge to you, SoldBot communicates all offers to you, reviews the purchase contract from the buyer with you and completes all counter offers for you.

Yes. From the moment your home is listed in the MLS until the sale closes, we manage and monitor your sale to make sure it's successful.

Yes. As a licensed real estate broker in your State, SoldBot is an expert in regulatory compliance. We make sure that your home sale meets all local, state and federal regulations.

Yes. We carry a $1,000,000 E&O Insurance policy that helps protect you during and after your sale.

No. SoldBot does not require a credit card. We highly recommend that you never give your credit card to any MLS listing service without reading their fine print very closely. Most of the time, they charge you a small flat fee upfront and then hit you up with lots of other charges that you'll discover you need later on. With SoldBot, your entire MLS listing is free. No catches.

Yes. You can cancel your listing with SoldBot at anytime, for any reason, without penalty up to the point you sign a purchase contract with a buyer in writing. After that point, we have legal regulations that require us to manage the completion of your sale.

Yes. Your local MLS requires the MLS listing agreement. It's not a SoldBot requirement. The MLS requires it because before a brokerage can place a home for sale in the MLS, they have to have the homeowners permission to do so. The MLS also requires a start date and end date on the listing agreement so we enter 90 days but regardless of this date, in your listing agreement, it clearly states you can cancel your listing at any time, for any reason, without penalty up to the point you accept a purchase offer from a buyer and sign the purchase contract in writing.

Like any real estate brokerage, offers and counter-offers from buyer agents come in directly to SoldBot and then are sent over to you for your review and feedback. If a homebuyer without an agent wants to submit an offer on your home, simply get their name and number and email it to us at [email protected]. Make sure to place your address in the subject line. We will then contact the buyer ASAP and help them write up the purchase contract. If the buyer knows how to write up the purchase contract, great! Less work for us. If the buyer doesn't, we do it for them for free to expedite your home sale.

Agents representing buyers actually do a lot of work. They have to drive buyers around from house to house and answer tons of questions day or night. If an agent from another real estate company submits an offer on your home you can accept it, negotiate it or reject it. If you accept it by signing the purchase contract in writing with their buyer, then you will owe that agent the specified buyer's agent commission stated in your listing agreement. The buyer' agent commission usually fluctuates between 2.5% and 3% depending on what state you live in. SoldBot DOES NOT receive any type of referral fee from a buyer's agent.

You only owe a buyer's agent a commission if you accept an offer from an agent on behalf of their buyer by signing a purchase contract. If you don't sign a purchase contract, you don't owe a commission to anyone. Remember, always look at every offer and then you can make a logical decision on which one to accept.

No, you are no longer a FSBO and you don't want to be a FSBO as SoldBot is a no-fee listing broker and we don't collect a buyer's agent commission if the buyer is not using an agent. If you understand this, then you understand there is no reason to be a FSBO anymore with SoldBot. Also, being a FSBO reduces the chance of buyers' agents showing and making offers on your home because there is no guaranty they will get paid their commission even if you say you are open to compensating them. SoldBot is a licensed brokerage in your state and you must be a licensed broker to have access to the MLS. So when you list with SoldBot, you are now listed with a brokerage and therefore are no longer technically a FSBO. If you have more questions on this matter, contact us.

You don't need to do anything to your FSBO Zillow ad. The MLS will automatically paste over it. So you will still see your Zillow ad displaying the information you enter into SoldBot but it will not be found under FSBO anymore because you are now listed with SoldBot, which is a broker. You also won't have control over your Zillow ad anymore directly through Zillow as it will be updated directly from the MLS which is updated by you through your SoldBot dashboard. You don't want to be a FSBO, you want to be listed with SoldBot because all the harassing phone calls from real estate agents who want your listing will now stop. The only agents that call you now will be ones that have actual buyers that want to purchase your home.
